Conclusions
• The burden of licit and illicit drug problems is increasingly evident.
• From a public health perspective tobacco and alcohol use carry much higher burdens that illicit drug use.
• Alcohol and drug polices need to address the relative harms of these substances.
• In the management of psychoactive substance problems (prevention and treatment) more attention should be paid to epidemiologic evidence and developments in neuroscience.

WHO’s Comparative Risk Assessment Collaborating Group
• 27 groups:– Core, metholodology, etc. Group– 26 risk factor groups
• Alcohol group:– J Rehm, R Room, M Monteiro, G Gmel, K
Graham, N Rehn, C T Sempos, U Frick, D Jernigan

Patterns of drinking
• Countries assigned hazardous drinking scores, a numeric indicator of hazard per litre of alcohol consumed
• Information drawn from research literature supplemented by key informant questionnaires
• Applied to two areas: injuries and CHD.
![Page 26: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dimensions of patterns of drinking
• High usual quantity of alcohol per occasion
• Festive drinking common – at fiestas or community celebrations
• Proportion of drinking occasions when drinkers get drunk
• Low proportion of drinkers who drink daily or nearly daily
• Less common to drink with meals• Common to drink in public places

Alcohol-related disorders• Chronic disease:
– Conditions arising during perinatal period*: low birth weight– Cancer*: lip & oropharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, liver
cancer, laryngeal cancer, female breast cancer– Neuropsychiatric diseases: alcohol use disorders, unipolar major
depression, epilepsy– Diabetes*– Cardiovascular diseases: hypertension, coronary heart disease,
stroke– Gastrointestinal diseases*: liver cirrhosis
• Injury:– Unintentional injury: motor vehicle accidents, drownings, falls,
poisonings, other unintentional injuries– Intentional injury: self-inflicted injuries, homicide, other intentional
injuries* AAF based on volume of drinking only

Future
Increase in alcohol-related burden for two reasons:– The disease categories related to alcohol are
relatively increasing: chronic disease, accidents and injuries
– Alcohol consumption is increasing in the most populous parts of the world
– Patterns are stable if not getting worse
If there are no interventions!!!

Social environment Decreasing the permissiveness of the environment (better staff control; less discount drinks) reduces alcohol-related violence1

Locally based community prevention programs based only on educational approaches Have limited or no effect1
Describes school based alcohol education, and drink driving education programmes as community based programmes6

Alcohol education in schools In general no, or very limited impact on use of alcohol; no evidence for an impact on harm3

Eurocare recommendation:
6. Because of limited evidence for their effectiveness in reducing drinking and driving, public education efforts to persuade drinkers not to drive after drinking, programmes to encourage servers to prevent intoxicated individuals from driving, and organized efforts to make provisions for alternative transportation should not be the main cornerstones of drinking and driving policy.

WHO’s Comparative Risk Assessment (CRA)
• Childhood and maternal undernutrition: underweight, iron deficiency, vitamin A deficiency, zinc deficiency;
• Other diet-related risks and physical inactivity: blood pressure, cholesterol, overweight, low fruit and vegetable intake, physical inactivity;
• Sexual and reproductive health risks: unsafe sex, lack of contraception;
• Addictive substance use: tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs;
• Environmental risks: unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene, urban air pollution, indoor smoke from solid fuels, lead exposure, climate change;
• Occupational risks: risk factors for injury, carcinogens, airborne particulates, ergonomic stressors, noise;
• Other selected risks to health: unsafe health care injections, childhood sexual abuse.

The epidemiological model
Attributable fractions
= f(prevalence, pattern weight, relative risk)
Defined as: With a given outcome exposure factor, and population, the attributable fraction is the proportion by which the incidence rate of the outcome would be reduced if the distribution of exposure would change to an alternative distribution:““When an exposure is When an exposure is believed to be a cause of believed to be a cause of a given disease, the a given disease, the attributable fraction is attributable fraction is the proportion of the the proportion of the disease in the specific disease in the specific population that would be population that would be eliminated in the absence eliminated in the absence of the exposure.”of the exposure.”
Four drinking categories (old English et al. terminology: abstainer, moderate, hazardous, harmful) are distinguished. Prevalence for all four categories are taken from surveys
Steps to derive at pattern weight:1. Determine pattern value from survey of key informants, and/or survey data where available.2. Conduct hierarchical linear analyses on mortality using per capita consumption gross-national product, year (level 1 variables) and pattern values (level 2 variable) as determining factors (separate by age and sex).3. Construct pattern weight based on intercept and regression weight for patterns.
Relative Risk estimates for each drinking category are either taken directly from meta-analyses (chronic diseases) or indirectly from meta-analyses of attributable fractions (injuries)

Prevalence data
• Adult per capita consumption estimates for countries totaling 90% of world’s population
• Survey data from 69 countries, covering 80% of world’s population
• Survey and adult per capita consumption data for more than 50% of countries

Patterns of drinking
• Countries assigned hazardous drinking scores, a numeric indicator of hazard per litre of alcohol consumed
• Information drawn from research literature supplemented by key informant questionnaires
• Applied to two areas: injuries and CHD.
![Page 91: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Dimensions of patterns of drinking
• High usual quantity of alcohol per occasion
• Festive drinking common – at fiestas or community celebrations
• Proportion of drinking occasions when drinkers get drunk
• Low proportion of drinkers who drink daily or nearly daily
• Less common to drink with meals• Common to drink in public places

4. Depression
5. Injuries

Alcohol-related disorders• Chronic disease:
– Conditions arising during perinatal period*: low birth weight– Cancer*: lip & oropharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, liver
cancer, laryngeal cancer, female breast cancer– Neuropsychiatric diseases: alcohol use disorders, unipolar major
depression, epilepsy– Diabetes*– Cardiovascular diseases: hypertension, coronary heart disease,
stroke– Gastrointestinal diseases*: liver cirrhosis
• Injury:– Unintentional injury: motor vehicle accidents, drownings, falls,
poisonings, other unintentional injuries– Intentional injury: self-inflicted injuries, homicide, other intentional
injuries* AAF based on volume of drinking only
![Page 96: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Estimating AAFs: 5. Alcohol-attributable depression
• Started with estimated rates of alcohol dependence in each region (derived from pooled psychiatric epidemiological studies)
• Used some of same studies to derive proportion of cases with both depression and alcohol problems where alcohol onset was prior to onset of depression
• Regressed these proportions on rates of alcohol dependence to establish upper-limit estimates
• To eliminate effect of co-occurrences due to chance, rate of alcohol use disorders then subtracted from these estimates
• Finally, halved AAFs to account for lack of control of confounders

Alcohol-related social harms
• Child abuse – 8.6%-63%• Domestic violence – 26%-76%• Family budget – 1%-11% overall
– Greater for families with frequent drinkers• E.g. Delhi – 24% of budgets of families with
frequent drinkers
• Problems for youth:– Criminal behavior– Failure to achieve educational qualifications
![Page 103: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Measuring social harms
1. Cost of illness studies• E.g. Scotland:
» Health care costs $139 million» Social work costs $125 million» Criminal justice and fire costs $390 million
2. Service system utilization by “problem drinkers”• California urban/suburban/rural county
» 41% in criminal justice system» 8% in social welfare system» 42% in general health care system» 3% in public mental health system» 6% in public alcohol or drug treatment system
3. Survey research• Canada – harms from someone else’s drinking
» 7.2% pushed, hit or assaulted» 6.2% friendships harmed» 7.7% family or marriage difficulties

Relationship between alcohol production and consumption
• Alcohol production and consumption– Most alcohol consumed near point of
production• 8% of recorded alcohol production enters into
international trade
– Consumption tends to be concentrated in minority of population, e.g.
• USA: 10% drinks 61% of the alcohol• New Zealand: 5% drinks 1/3 of the alcohol
![Page 106: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol problems
• Alcohol problems arise from:– Intoxication occasions– Repeated episodes of intoxication– Steady heavy drinking
• Protective effect from consistent moderate drinking– This pattern rare in developed countries, even less
common in developing societies
• Bottom line: level of alcohol problems in a society will tend to rise with level of alcohol consumption
![Page 107: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Social and health benefits of drinking
• Social benefits of drinking largely unquantifiable– Alcohol’s role as integrative, bonding or socially
lubricative substance
• Health benefits of alcohol– Protective effect for CHD evident at individual level at
as low as one drink every other day– Protection not found at the aggregate level
• Could be some drinkers shift to more heart-healthy pattern, as others change to more dangerous patterns
– Leads to conclusion that there are no net benefits at the population level from any policy that seeks to increase alcohol consumption
![Page 108: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Alcohol and development
• Alcohol consumption tends to rise with economic development, absent mitigating factors (e.g. religion)
• Four modes of production of alcohol:– Traditional/indigenous– Industrialized traditional/indigenous– Industrialized cosmopolitan– Globalized cosmopolitan
• Trend is towards the latter, particularly in distilled spirits and beer
![Page 109: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Alcohol and development: benefits?
• Employment and income generation– Direct employment declines with industrialization– Indirect employment may increase in wholesaling and
distribution, but less likely in retail sector• Government revenue – justifiable for:
– Economic efficiency – correct for negative externalities
– Public health – reduce consumption– Revenue raising – as high as 24% of some state
revenues
![Page 110: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Alcohol and development: benefits?
• Quality improvement– Industrialization leads to greater uniformity
and reliability of product
• Sourcing of inputs and balance of payment issues– Import substitution constrained by size of
domestic market – also may require import of inputs as opposed to finished product
– Alcohol unlikely to make much contribution to exports
![Page 111: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Alcohol and development: benefits?
• MNCs and technology transfer– “Turnkey” technologies increasing– Design, R&D and engineering expertise remains in
headquarters countries
• Encouragement of packaging and distribution networks
• Early form of foreign direct investment– If increased alcohol supply will not worsen public
health and safety situation regarding alcohol
![Page 112: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Preventive interventions: individual-based
• Education and persuasion– Little evidence of effectiveness of school-
based programs beyond the short-term– Media campaigns unlikely to change
behavior, but may increase support for more effective policies
• Deterrence– Effective in reducing drinking-driving– Speed and certainty of punishment crucial to
effectiveness
![Page 113: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Preventive interventions: individual-based
• Encouraging alternatives– Little evidence of effectiveness of lasting effects– Too many alternatives go well with alcohol, e.g. soft
drinks– Do contribute to improving quality of life for
disadvantaged populations• Treatment and mutual help
– Part of a humane societal response– Brief interventions, self-help effective and result in net
savings in social and health costs– Treatment alone is not a cost-effective means of
reducing alcohol-related problems
![Page 114: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Preventive interventions: environmentally-based
• Insulating use from harm– Server and manager training can reduce
drinking-driving, violence– Provision of public transport, relocation of
drinking places away from residences can also be effective
– General protections, e.g. airbags, sidewalks, are effective
– “Designated driver” programs lack evidence of effectiveness
![Page 115: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Preventive interventions: environmentally-based
• Regulating availability, conditions of use– Prohibitions
• Difficult to enforce
– Minimum-age drinking laws (partial prohibition)
• Effective if enforced
– Taxation and other price increases• Demand for alcohol generally inelastic• Can be effective if market is under control
![Page 116: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
Preventive interventions: environmentally-based
• Regulating availability, conditions of use– Limiting sales outlets, hours and conditions of sale
• Research literature shows effectiveness of measures making alcohol purchase less convenient
– Monopolies on production or sale• Retail monopolies have greater public health effects• Production monopolies assist in control of market
– Production restrictions• Can be effective but difficult to enforce
– Limits on advertising and promotion• Some evidence bans are effective• “Unmeasured” activities increasing, and difficult to regulate
![Page 117: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
Other policy concerns
• Social and religious movements, civil society and NGOs can be key
• Alcohol policy needs to be societal, integrated and consistent
• International trade agreements need to make exception for alcohol as “no ordinary commodity”
![Page 118: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Monitoring alcohol consumption
• Per capita alcohol consumption (age 15+)• Number of abstainers: • Pattern of drinking:
– frequency of getting drunk or drinking >60 grams of ethanol (5+ drinks),
– usual quantity per drinking session, – fiesta drinking, – drinking in public places, – not drinking with meals, and not drinking daily– frequencies and percentages of all alcohol drunk on >40g. days
for men and >20g. days for women
• Youth use
![Page 119: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
Monitoring alcohol problems
• alcohol-involved traffic crashes/injuries • alcohol-involved crimes• hospitalizations and deaths from strongly alcohol-
involved causes: – liver disease (if rates of hepatitis B and C are low), – alcohol-specific causes such as alcoholic liver disease, alcohol
dependence, and alcoholic psychosis
• other alcohol-related problems: – problems with family, friendships, work, police, financial, health,
alcohol dependence
• problems from others’ drinking:– family, friendships, work, injury, property loss, public nuisance
![Page 120: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
The Future
Increase in alcohol-related burden for two reasons:– The disease categories related to alcohol are
relatively increasing: chronic disease, accidents and injuries
– Alcohol consumption is increasing in the most populous parts of the world

Target groups (cont.)
• Of the 32 interventions and strategies evaluated, 16 are targeted at the GP, 12 at HR, and 4 at HD.
• Interventions directed at the general population have higher effectiveness ratings thatn those targeted at other groups.
• Interventions directed at the general population and high-risk groups tend to be less costly to implement and maintain than interventions with harmful drinkers

Integrated alcohol policies
Our ratings suggest that a combination of pjysical availability limits at the general population level, certain drinking-driving countermeasures directed at all three target groups, and brief interventions directed at high-risk drinkers will offer the best value as the foundation for a comprehensive alcohol policy approach

Implementing Alcohol Control Strategies in Brazil
A. Strengthen alcohol surveillance systems
1. Epidemiologic surveys: household, school, roadside, emergency room, special events, alcohol sales and service practices, industry marketing, etc.
2. Increase expertise in behavioral health research methods and analysis.
3. Create and staff a Brazilian alcohol research center and develop an integrative and multi-disciplinary research strategy.
![Page 134: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
Alcohol is a drug which is:
1. Mind altering
2. Tolerance producing
3. Addictive
These basic facts are not changed by alcohol industry advertising.

Strategy Options:
1. Personal change strategies – change people
2. Alcohol control strategies – control alcohol availability
![Page 145: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
Personal Change Strategies
The U.S. has spent a fortune trying to “change people” through programs for adults, youth and children to:
1.Provide alcohol education
2.Change attitudes about drinking
3.Provide early intervention and treatment services for individuals with alcohol problems, and for their families
![Page 146: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)
Research Evidence of Effectiveness:Personal Change Strategies
1. With few exceptions, these programs have not been effective in preventing societal alcohol problems.
2. As for the exceptions, these programs are too expensive to be implemented across society.
3. Despite this evidence, programs implementing personal change strategies are the most popular, most prevalent, and best funded prevention efforts in the U.S.
![Page 147: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
Alcohol Control Strategies:Essential Components
• changes in social norms
• policy interventions
• deterrence and enforcement
![Page 148: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
Alcohol Control Strategies:The Role of Public Health Education
in Changing Social Norms
1. Raise societal awareness and concern about alcohol problems.
2. Educate the society that these problems can be prevented.
3. Inform the society about specific policy controls and deterrence strategies that are effective.
4. Publicize successes.
![Page 149: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
Alcohol Control Strategies: Effective Public Health Education Strategies
for Changing Social Norms
1. Rely on research epidemiology.
2. Develop a strategic plan to educate society incrementally and sequentially.
3. Stay on message.
4. Utilize mass media.

A. Provide “translation” services between:1. Researchers2. Public health professionals3. Community organizers4. Policy makers5. Alcohol industry6. Alcohol law enforcement
B. Provide “honest broker” services for each of the above groups.
C. Keep a low profile!

Implementing Alcohol Control Strategies
B. Establish a Brazilian technical assistance center for implementation of alcohol control strategies
1. Organize services by problems, not by control policies (violence, youth drinking, traffic safety, noise and neighborhood disruption, etc.).
2. Local communities are the first priority for services.3. Develop and implement a public health education
strategy to change social norms.4. Respond quickly to “unscheduled opportunities”.
![Page 161: Políticas Públicas em Alcohol Prof. Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira Universidade Federal de São Paulo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568150c0550346895dbee139/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)
Implementing Alcohol Control Strategies
C. Increase enforcement of existing alcohol control policies.
1. Public health and law enforcement are not traditional allies – build relationships!
2. Support creation of law enforcement units which specialize in enforcement of alcohol laws.
3. Document, and then acknowledge publicly, the results of alcohol law enforcement.

Science more accessible to policy-makers
